The security camera captures a picture of us staring at our phones.īut first, we need a high resolution camera to hook up to the Raspberry Pi.
Then, it uses our alert system to notify us when a car comes up the driveway. It uses the security camera software described in this post to detect cars. One such camera is placed at the foot of our driveway at the cabin. We use several such cameras placed around the house, as part of our DIY CCTV security camera system.
Building a DIY Raspberry Pi security camera is much easier than it might sound thanks to open-source security camera software.
